Answers:
cut and cleaned cactus pads are cut into french fry style strips 3/8" wide and rolled in a batter of milk and eggs then rolled through flour, cornmeal or a combination of both!. Frying in a skillet or deep fryer will give a deep gold/green color!. They are really great fresh out of the oil!.
2)2 lbs cleaned cactus
1 Onion -- sliced 1/8" thick
1/8 cup Corn Oil or Olive Oil
2 jalapeno chilis
2 Chili Serrano
1/2 bulb garlic
1 Cup Cilantro
Salt to taste
Clean and dice cactus!. Chop onion into similar sized pieces and place in a large oiled skillet and begin to fry!. Add garlic and chilis and salt!. Cover and simmer until tender!. Serve over diced and toasted tortillas or bed of rice!.
3)1/2 lb Fava beans, washed well and drained
1/2 cup Olive Oil
1/2 Onion cut into large pieces
1 and 1/2 quarts of water
2 cloves of garlic
4 to 5 cactus pads
1/2 diced onion
Combine the Favas, oil, onion and two cloves garlic!. Cook in a covered pot bringing to a slow boil and continue to cook until the Favas are soft and the liquid is thick!. Do not salt!. This takes about 2 and 1/2 hours!. Stir frequently!. Meanwhile clean the cactus pads and cut them into 1/4 inch cubves!. Boil them with salt garlic and onion for about 15 minutes!. Before serving add the cactus to the soup and stir well!. Makes approximately 6 servings!. Baby Lima or Haba beans can be substituted for the Fava beans!.

Where I live you can get cactus strawberries!. They grow on the ends of huge great cactus plants!. They are covered in tiny needle like thorns!. There is a secret how to pick them and get the thorns off!. You need a fork stick to get them off the cactus, then roll the fruit in the grass to get the thorns off!. If you don't do that, you will be pulling them out of your fingers for weeks!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I have had some delicious cactus prepared in a mexican style meal!. First of course make sure your cactus has no thorns!. Then use a peeler to peel off the outer tough skin!.
The recipe I had was that it was peeled and then thinly sliced and sauteed with a pepper and onion and used as a taco filling!. I think you would also be able to saute it with an onion and use it with for a fajita!.
It was yummy! I would definitely do it again!Www@FoodAQ@Com
